Portal for Australian Work Visas
Olympus Migration assists with a range of visa options for individuals who wish to live and work in Australia, without the ongoing stress of immigration matters lingering over their heads.
The primary temporary work visa requiring employer sponsorship is the Skills in Demand Visa (Subclass 482). For those seeking a permanent employer-sponsored option, the Employer Nomination Scheme Visa (Subclass 186) is available, offering two pathways: Temporary Residence Transition and Direct Entry. Applicants who prefer to apply independently may consider skilled visas, which we assist with on a case-by-case basis.
Given the complexity of the Work Visa and Skilled Visa processes and the numerous eligibility requirements involved, we recommend booking a complimentary consultation with Andreas Athanasiou to discuss your specific circumstances and pathway options.
Skills in Demand Visa (SID) (Subclass 482)
The Skills in Demand Visa (Subclass 482) allows skilled workers to live and work in Australia for up to four years when sponsored by an eligible Australian employer.
The process involves three key stages: the employer becoming an approved Standard Business Sponsor, the nomination of a genuine position, and the lodgement of the visa application by the worker. In some circumstances, holders of this visa may later become eligible to transition to permanent residence through the Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186).
Applications are assessed in accordance with the Migration Act 1958 and the Migration Regulations 1994, including the nomination and visa criteria set out in Schedule 2 of the Regulations, which require the position to be genuine, the applicant to be suitably skilled and experienced for the nominated occupation, and the sponsoring employer to meet ongoing sponsorship and compliance obligations.
Employer Nomination Scheme Visa (ENS) (Subclass 186)
The Employer Nomination Scheme Visa (Subclass 186) allows skilled workers to live and work in Australia permanently when sponsored by an eligible Australian employer.
The process involves the employer nominating a genuine position and the applicant meeting the relevant visa requirements, with eligibility available under both the Temporary Residence Transition stream for applicants who have worked for their nominating employer on a Skills in Demand visa (Subclass 482), and the Direct Entry stream for applicants who qualify for permanent residence without holding a prior relevant Visa.
Applications are assessed in accordance with the Migration Act 1958 and the Migration Regulations 1994, including the nomination and visa criteria set out in Schedule 2 of the Regulations, which require the position to be genuine, the applicant to be suitably skilled and experienced for the nominated occupation, and the sponsoring employer to meet sponsorship and compliance obligations.
Information for Employers/Sponsors
Australian employers and corporations may sponsor or nominate overseas skilled workers for either temporary or permanent work visas.
Sponsoring a worker who is not an Australian citizen or permanent resident is a significant commitment, with eligibility dependent on the business demonstrating a genuine need for the role, skills shortages within the local labour market, and the financial capacity to meet its obligations. As employer sponsorship involves complex legal requirements and strict eligibility criteria, obtaining professional advice before proceeding is essential.
Employer sponsors must comply with the Migration Act 1958 and the Migration Regulations 1994, including meeting sponsorship and nomination requirements, maintaining lawful employment arrangements, and fulfilling all ongoing compliance and sponsorship obligations for the duration of the sponsored employment.
